Pre-Professional Health Association

The Pre-Professional Health Association (PPHA) is a student-run organization at CSUEB. The goal of the PPHA is to increase the number of CSUEB students accepted into professional schools.

The PPHA uses a number of methods toward achieving this goal, including:

• tours of medical, veterinary, physical therapy, optometry, and dental schools in California;

• mock testing for MCAT, DAT, and GRE preparation;

• mock interviews, complete with video recording of the interview session for later viewing with an advisor;

• peer advising, to assist students with class selection;

• sharing volunteer, interview, and application experiences that may benefit newcomers to the club;

• monthly meetings, at which members can ask questions and participate in discussions;

• guest lecturers, typically from the California professional schools, but sometimes from other areas of the country;

• opportunity to become an officer of the club.
